I flew the Mossie for the first time in quite a while yesterday.Wow!! It was alot of fun. I turns pretty well, but I prefer to keep it fast. There was a good furball between p130 and a129 for a good hour or longer. Landed 10 but had at several sorties with 5 or more kills. I know alot of cartoon pilots like to turn it,but it is a great bnz plane. Now i dont mean like your normal pony jockey 5K abouve the fight. I mean like zooming to 1k above just to keep your E its awsome! Also when a plane is in your sights and you pull the trigger :O " BOOOOM"

just needs those exhaust shrouds removed now!

Is it just me or does the elevator feels like it is operated by rubber wires? Somewhat unresponsive in the pitch. It is as if I have the stall limiter on (I don't).
It is the coolest plane ever built and extremely fun in the MA, especially after it has been fixed, sort of. All it needs now is a 3D model upgraded to the new standards, the stupid flame dumpers removed and the rubber elevator wires replaced by metal wires.

Mossie in game has been shown no mercy :cry

Oh mossie I thought you said Mussie
:D

Ive always been surprised its not seen in the game more often then it is. Especially mission-wise. Its 4 hispanos have gobs of cannon ammo, you can stack 8 rockets on it, and, some gravity bombs. Its very fast in the grass too, far faster then the 110. I know the 110 is stronger gun-wise but how many NOE missions have you been on when all the cannon rounds of a 110 have been used?
In my mind once the adequate firepower threshhold has been reached the absolute most important asset of a mission plane is speed. Speed is a great equalizer because you get places faster which increases your chance of surprising the enemy. I think Im going to start posting some realistic Mossie/Typhie NOE missions. Im willing to bet that used together they will provide a far better alternative then the 110 NOE setups that are starting to get a little stale.

mossie mossie mossie oi oi oi!
Love the laser beam effect of the cannons. I feel like an empowered Dalek with limited manouvreability but a power to be reckoned with.
Exterminate! Exterminate!

I think I can count on one hand the actual number of times I have flown a mossie.
-
not to mention the mossie is a very precise divebomber and a good climber
-
I think very few people realize that the mossie is usually the second fastest way to deliver 2000 lbs of bombs to a target (Typh is fastest). It is also the second best climber carying 2000 lbs (best being the 38). If you need a combat profile of climb - short cruise -bomb mossie might actually be the quickest to do it.

And now that it doesn't burst into flame at the slightest hit it is one of the most durable aircraft in the game, if a tad easy to hit. I have survived a lot of auto-ack hits and passing snapshots in it.

It would be a tad quicker without the stupid exhaust shrouds ;)

Actually after my first post I ran back to the MA and ran some RAF missions with Mossies and Typhoons. We took 3 bases in a row. The Mossie is simply to good to sit in the hangar. Even better its a great alternative to the same old boring 110 NOE missions. And now with the Whirbels being such a threat its divebombing abilities, along with the A-20, should be even more useful.

its a great plane, but i cant fly it, with it, or against it without getting frame spanked... for some reason it gives me about 5 FPS evrytime i get within d800 of one....
if any1 has a fix, it would help, cuz the mossie is great fun!

I wounder what would happen if they took the mossie fm instability and changed it with the p39's fm instability's.
Hmmms... ;)

Mossi has been my favorite plane for a while. Get it about 7-10k and B&Z everything you see. Only none perk plane that I can land multiple 10+ kill soties in a row. Dont even get me started on the ENY. For each niki, la7, spixteen you kill is 5 perkies at 1.00eny.

rebuild cache several times. if ur talking about the actual tex files, then a good set would b nice to have. InsanlyEvl Person@yahoo.com if u care to send a clean set.

Me too.
:aok

Me too.

And that is a good thing in what way?
I don't think there is any unit in AH that I can say that of, save the new units just added last week.

Sarcasm.
245 kills in, 55 deaths in, this tour

So far Im 6 for 6 with my RAF realistic missions featureing the Mossie. Thing is with Mossies, Typhoons, Spit-16s, and Tempests, once the base you attacking starts flashing your coming at it, with WEP, at about 340 mph while in the grass. Which is a lot faster then 110 missions. And I think the Mossie is so tough that you dont worry about taking it into the flak in the 1st pass as much. But the real key is speed as it just gives less time for an enemy to react.
Anyhoo its a great airplane. And as much as I like the 110s its kinda nice to fly something different.
